      4.4.3 "Investigate how changes in speed or direction are caused by forces: the greater the force exerted on an object, the greater the change."

      This would be a great inclusion activity for special needs students. Students could work in groups to calculate the work. Even though this is listed as a middle school activity, with thorough explanation, 4th grade students would be able to complete this activity to meet standard 4.4.3.

    In this project, you will learn how to measure the work done on an object. You will determine the effect that a simple machine has on work. You will also determine the effect of the direction of the force on work.

      Students can design a water wheel in groups and see how the wheel works. To extend this experiment students could then work together to make improvements to their wheel. This activity could also be connected to social studies. Students could see how water wheels have evolved over the years and what their uses were and are.

    Students can build a water wheel and see the force of water in motion. They can also experiment with different forces and see how they affect the water wheel.

      Extensions: Science connects with a historical figure: Isaac Newton.  Teacher can give background on him prior to experiment or allow students time to research via book or internet this important historical figure. Adaptations Gifted students can choose one of Newton's laws and give a presentation on it after researching the topic.  ESL & Special Ed students can illustrate one of Newton's Laws on poster board or foam core.

    The Lincoln High Dive: 5th Grade Science Experiment Newton's first law states that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.  This experiment also illustrates gravity. Supplies: A Lincoln penny (or other small coin), a piece of card stoic or stiff paper, a film canister, baby food jar, or other similar size container with a mouth slightly larger than a penny, a pencil or pen, and scissors.

    4.4.1:  Investigate transportation systems and devices that operate on or in land, water, air, and space and recognize the forces (lift, drag, thrust, and gravity) that affect their motion.  Students will study the monorail to determine how it operates, what generates the power, and what are the effects to our environment.

      4.2.1 "Demonstrate and describe how smaller rocks come from the breakage and weathering of larger rocks in a process that occurs over a long period of time."
    • Mary Jo Mack

      This would be a great language development activity for ELL students- they could be challenged to use adjectives to describe what they are seeing during the weathering process. 
  • Mary Jo Mack on 15 Feb 12
     
    The rocks that compose the Earth's crust are subjected to a variety of forces. Depending on the environmental factors at work, the rocks can be altered in size or in composition. Factors such as wind, water, plants, and animals cause weathering, physical changes in rocks that affect their size. However, physical changes do not affect the composition of rock. In this activity you will see the effect of physical weathering on rocks.

      4.NBT.2 Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form Differentiation: For a younger group of children the recording sheet could be changed to a three digit number so that students could practice learning ones, tens, and hundreds place.
  • Liz Dilts on 06 Feb 12
     
    This is a fun activity in which students must understand place value to the hundred millions.  In this activity students hide their recording sheets and draw a number.  The student who draws a number must announce which place value he or she put that digit.  Then, the other partner must copy that down.  Each partner alternates the plays until they have filled in each place value.  At the end, the teams must see if their numbers match and they will score accordingly. This game forces both partners to be working at all times so not just one person is doing all the work!

      Sticky Note: This could also be added to a science lesson where students have been creating vehicles and also have a class vehicle and class ramp that students could test. That way they could compare their own vehicles with the class vehicle and same with the class ramp (kind of like a control subjects). It could also be added to math lessons because of the measuring involved in each part of the activity.

      2.1.3. Predict and experiment with methods (e.g. sieving, evaporation) to separate solids and liquids based on their physical properties.2.1.4 Observe, sketch, demonstrate and compare how objects can move in different ways (e.g., straight, zig-zag, back-and-forth, rolling, fast and slow).2.1.5 Describe the position or motion of an object relative to a point of reference (e.g., background, another object).2.1.6 Observe, demonstrate, sketch and compare how applied force (i.e., push or pull) changes the motion of objects. Differentiation: Instead of writing out a hypothesis, have special education students draw the designs or what they predict will happen to the salt when they swing their pendulum.
  • Liz Dilts on 16 Feb 12
     
    Using paper, string, and salt, students will create a cone out of the paper that will act as their pendulum.  They will swing the pendulum so it just touches the pile of salt and watch the designs it makes.  Students can change the pendulum's direction to see if that changes the design.

      6.NC.7  Understand the ordering and absolute value of rational numbers. Differentiation: Instead of being forced to ask and answer questions about a number an ELL student and his or her partner could have a message board with eachother where they could simply write #1, 100?  Using math as the universal language the students can ask questions without using the english words. 
  • Liz Dilts on 06 Feb 12
     
    Students will practice comparing and ordering integers by writing two different integers in a box.  The player's partner must ask yes or no questions about the integer such as; "are both of your numbers positive?" or "Is your second number greater than 10?"
